At the Harrah’s Resort and Casino in Atlantic City, otherwise known as New Jersey’s bootleg Vegas, the upcoming attractions include such parent-approved acts as The Doobie Brothers and Michael Bolton. According to a report by the New York Post, however, the soundtrack at Harrah’s is about to get a whole lot more Beatport Top Ten.

Yes, self-crowned ‘Top 5 DJ’ Paris Hilton has reportedly landed a DJ residency on home soil. According to the Post, Hilton will play four poolside shows at the Atlantic City casino in 2014, “for a deal worth what some claim is about $100K per appearance.”

After inciting keyboard warriors everywhere with her residency at Ibiza’s hallowed super club Amnesia last summer, Hilton will be back there to do it all again this year. Want an idea of the obscure gems you’re likely to hear if you make the trip to Atlantic City? Back in November, our EDM oracle gave Billboard her favorite tracks of the moment. Be surprised, be very surprised.

“I really love Nicky Romero and Avicii’s “I Could Be The One,” I just think the lyrics are really great and I love the drop, it’s a really beautiful song,” she revealed. Zedd’s “Clarity” also made the cut, as did Bingo Players’ electro-house monster “Rattle”. To cap it off with a curveball you never saw coming: “Another new song I’ve been loving this summer is “Animals” by Martin Garrix,” Hilton shared. “He’s a really young DJ, he’s very talented and upcoming, and I think that song is really dope.” Consider yourself schooled.
